Rapper Wale says a gay rapper would be
accepted by the rap community.
The 30-year-old Wale is currently
promoting his latest studio album, The
Album About Nothing.
In an appearance on Larry King Now,
host Larry King asked Wale whether the rap community would accept an
openly gay rapper.
“I think so,” Wale
answered. “I think 2015 is another world. We got a black
president. I would think there would be a gay rapper before a black
president.”
“It's like socially accepted. People
see people. It's like taboo to speak bad on the gay community. It
used to be taboo to be a part of the gay community, now it's taboo to
speak bad on them.”
“Look at Indiana,” King noted,
“what they've gone through.”
